Chapter 564
Originally, "The Matrix" was just a novel that had just been serialized for less than ten days. The plot has not yet been fully developed, and readers have only a little understanding of this novel.
But now the story summary is written on the filing of the movie. Even if there is only the script content of "The Matrix 1", it is enough to surprise fans.
"Plot summary: The real world is controlled by a computer artificial intelligence system called "Matrix". People are like animals raised by matrices, trapped in an illusory world, using them as bio-cells to contribute electricity to the matrix, without freedom and thought. With the help of Mephis, Trinity and others, the young hacker Neo gradually realized the truth of the matrix, peeked at the cornerstone of the world, and finally became the savior who can save mankind after going through hardships. Neo's awakening will bring the war between mankind and machinery into a new era!"
This introduction quickly spread online. Many people who were fattening new books couldn't help but be surprised after seeing this plot introduction.
It can even be said that it refreshed their understanding of the subsequent plot!
"Isn't this a novel that tells hackers' stories? How did it turn into a war between humans and machinery, and even a savior appears?"
When readers think it is a hacker vs. government departments, the truth is indeed human vs. artificial intelligence!
On Weibo, QQ group, and forum, they all started to discuss fiercely. Lin Han’s stall is a bit big, and his readers and ordinary netizens are all curious about how to shoot three stories in one go.
...
In a quiet courtyard in Yanjing, several middle-aged people holding tea cups or coffee were gathering together to chat, while young people not far away looked here from time to time.
This is the old home of Yanjing's relatively old filmmakers. The dilapidated dark red sofas and wooden panes are Chinese-style old Yanjing elements, and even a large kang that needs to sit cross-legged. It has been many years since it was.
They witnessed people who traveled here year after year, whether they were talking nonsense, lies after drinking, or famous sayings.
On weekends, there are foreigners who flock here, occasionally tidy ups, broken hearts, filmmakers who study scripts, or old friends gather together, and each holds their own games.
Many movies have been born here and many stories have been circulated. An inconspicuous little screenwriter was accidentally taken by a big director, and a script was polished here bit by bit, so it is also considered a Feng Shui treasure land!
As new people enter and old people stay, the team grows stronger, especially when meeting acquaintances at night, there is a greater chance of meeting them.
Cui Lecheng shook the teacup gently, and he said, "Old Zheng, you are amazing now. You are another person who bravely entered Hollywood. I heard that you were nominated for the Best Director over there by Saturn Award?"
Although he has a white beard and wears a colorful shirt, he is actually a famous Chinese director. He has won both the Golden Rooster Awards, the Golden Horse Awards, the Berlin Film Festival, and the Venetian Film Festival, and has served as the chairman of the Tokyo Film Festival jury.
Zheng Shuping couldn't hide his proud look. A huge smile appeared on his wrinkled face: "It's not considered a brave move into Hollywood. After all, I haven't taken on Hollywood movies. As for the Saturn Award, that's meaningless. Do you think anyone here cares about the Saturn Award? There's not even a report."
The Saturn Award is an award held by the American Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films. It aims to reward science fiction or horror masterpieces in the film and television fields, as well as outstanding works with breakthroughs and innovations.
Generally speaking, its nomination scope and final results are film and television works or filmmakers that are popular among the majority of movie fans. Last year, "Martian Rescue" was also very popular in North America, so it is normal to get the nomination!
This is a relatively professional award. Except for those who like this and netizens who pay attention to North American entertainment, mainstream media rarely report it.
Besides, in Zheng Shuping's resume, a Saturn Award nomination for Best Director is nothing!
"The domestic science fiction films are in good momentum now. Chang'e Film invited me to film "Breaking Out of the Milky Way". What do you think?" Another person on the table asked. His name is Ji Gaoxuan. He has filmed many excellent films and is considered a director at the peak of his creation.
However, his specialty is police and gangster films and comedy films, and he has not been able to catch such unfamiliar science fiction films, but he is unwilling to miss this opportunity.
Zheng Shuping touched the sparse beard on his chin, and he replied seriously: "Science fiction films should be a big deal now. If the quality of the book is good, then there will be nothing next. After all, there are few movies of this type, so we should seize the opportunity. Anyway, Chang'e Pictures is not bad, and they rarely make mistakes. You can fight for box office dividends."
Ji Gaoxuan nodded. He had studied Hollywood science fiction films and had thought about filming his own science fiction film, but when the real opportunity came, he hesitated, worried that directing "Breaking Out of the Galaxy" would destroy his good reputation.
"Did you see the news? The little guy who wrote the script "Martian Rescue" is going to make a science fiction blockbuster. What's his name?" Cui Lecheng knocked on his temple, "When people get older, their memory becomes worse, and suddenly I can't remember it."
Zheng Shuping laughed, "His name is Lin Han, a pretty good young man. The previous movie "Immortality" was filmed very well, the script was quite exciting, and the director's basic skills were also good. Even if I were given the same conditions, I might not be able to shoot better than him!"
Jing Yuan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke: "The homework I assigned to my students recently was to let them watch and analyze this movie. Lin Han is not only an excellent writer, but also an excellent screenwriter and director. Now he finally has a young director who can watch it."
Jing Yuan's identity is different from Zheng Shuping. He is not a pure director, but also the vice president of the Central Academy of Drama and a doctoral supervisor in the director department. Therefore, it is very difficult for him to leave his opinion on Beijing Film Academy and appreciate Lin Han's talent.
"Yes, no matter what, he is also a professional background. He has studied hard for several years. Unlike some commercials who shoot MVs, they are all too impetuous. The film industry is also very impatient." Ji Gaoxuan was also very moved. The older generation of filmmakers take movies seriously, but who had thought that bad movies will almost occupy the market now.
Bad money drives out good money, they are a little desperate about the future of the movie. After their older generation passes, can young people support it?
Jing Yuan paused and continued, "But I feel like Lin Han is going astray now. He has a big appetite. Who can do this in three movies? I'm afraid he will be defeated by this series of movies."
"Young people are just motivated and are much better than when we were young. I didn't dare to think about this at that time!" Zheng Shuping easily recalls youth when he got older.
Ji Gaoxuan sighed and said, "They also have the capital to make trouble. When we were young, we wanted to make a movie. No one was asking grandpa to take investment everywhere. In the end, we were happy to get a few million investments. As a result, this kid was fine. He made money and filmed by himself, and did whatever he wanted."
This sentence goes to everyone's hearts. The economic environment decades ago was not as good as now. At that time, they were all thinking about making movies.
But Lin Han is different. Although he learns to make movies, what really makes him famous is the novel series. Although science fiction novels have limitations, niches also have advantages of niches. Readers are particularly loyal and rarely give up leaving!
...
Unlike these people, the media generally dislikes Lin Han's series of movies, from the plot to investment, from the director's candidate to the shooting process, some people are worried, and some are gloating and waiting to see Lin Han fail.
"China Film News" is a professional journal sponsored by the China Film Art Research Center. It introduces the latest developments and trends of the Chinese and foreign film industry to domestic and foreign film workers and enthusiasts from the latest perspective and the most accurate news.
Of course, they spread the news that Lin Han invested in filming "The Matrix" as a big deal!
Special commentator Peng Yu wrote: "According to the news of the project announcement of the Film Bureau, Lin Han's science fiction novel "The Matrix", which has not yet been published and completed, will be brought to the big screen. As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted high attention from netizens.
There is a definite news that the novel will be changed into a trilogy and will be filmed at the same time in June, with a total investment of up to hundreds of millions!
Movie fans bluntly said: Lin Han's science fiction novels are quite good, but his science fiction movies make people feel a little uneasy. After thinking about it carefully, they love and fear. Please don't just spend money on making money and ruin one classic novel after another.
Indeed, through the introduction published, we can see Lin Han's ambition. This time he no longer just puts the shooting scene in a room, but expands to all mankind, discussions about artificial intelligence, and the savior of humanity.
New directors are careful not to have high eyesight, and the script is filled with too many complex elements. If these are integrated together, it is easy to form a hodgepodge of four-dimensional characters. Unlike small crews, Lin Han's control will be severely tested!"
This report is relatively neutral. He raised everyone's concern, that is, is Lin Han really capable of mastering the shooting of three blockbusters now?
This is a continuous filming that many well-known directors in China dare not involve. Even if the movie was created by him, the difficulty coefficient is definitely five stars!
There are very few people who are optimistic. Even fans who don’t know the film industry know that it is best to shoot movies one by one. It is too difficult to become a fat man in one bite.
